I have 2 computers a new XP Pro and a new XP Home.
They are connected to the Internet through a router connected to an ADSL modem.
They both have ONE use account.
Same name same password on both machines.

I would like to share files between these two computers.
I don't know what the first step is.
Or the second.
Is there an order in which I do this?
Do I create Guest accounts first?
Do I run the networking wizard first?
Set up shared files first?
From where do I run the wizard?
The Guest account?
On the Pro machine or the Home machine?

What networking settings do I change (and where) or does the wizard do that?

The best thing would be to go through the tutorial at www.homenethelp.com -
that will get you working.

It doesn't mention naming accounts or passwords.
I'm missing something obvious.
I don't understand what to do with all these user accounts.

The XPHome machine can now see and access the XPPro.
The XPPro can't see the XPHome machine.
I can live with this.
